Raven Lyrics - Singles - The New York Room

raised hedges in the wilting grass 

stalks of broken straw 

barren fields and broken glass 

barbed wire fence 

as day breaks, a white light 

shines through the fog 

the sunrise climbs higher 

inside the sky 

raven fly, come with me 

and all the long flocks of black crows 

their legions wait in counted rows 

and with each day their numbers grow 

wait here with me in their shadow 

and when the north wind starts to blow 

they will take their place and they will show 

us all that they wish us to know 

they will fill the sky, they will steal your soul 

and as the locusts are swarming 

you will hear their cry, you will feel their sting 

and when the season turns to spring 

the mighty raven spreads his wings 

and you will hear the beacons sing 

come and receive the gifts they bring 

and in their claws our bodies cling 

all through the skies their screams will ring
